643: Chapter 441 643: Chapter 441 She still didn’t understand why Jiang Tang looked at him with clear eyes at first, but later his gaze became lewd.
She just assumed that was how men looked at women.
Zhang Nianjiao, besides helping with construction, also built herself a cave dwelling on a mountain, located below the main peak, underneath Jiang Tang’s palace.
She needed her own quiet place for cultivation, so she had a formation set up in her cave dwelling to block out sound and prevent others from entering.
She even had Jiang Tang construct a Spirit Gathering Array for her.
Although the Spirit Gathering Array couldn’t be used at the moment, once Jiang Tang opened up the base’s resources one day, her cave dwelling would become very advanced.
Zhang Nianjiao had her own cave dwelling in another Sacred Gate Base, also within the Ancestral Peak.
Whether or not she married Jiang Tang in the future, cultivating here would be excellent.
Of course, following this man meant she wanted to marry him, which was only a matter of time.
This man before her was too career-driven and so diligent in his cultivation.
She couldn’t hold him back, striving to become stronger, reducing jealousy and rivalries.
Perhaps her heart wasn’t that heavy.
Although the women who followed Jiang Tang appeared indifferent on the surface about sharing their boyfriend, and later, their husband, they actually cared deeply.
When Jiang Tang took a woman out for a stroll on his own, another woman, uninterested in cultivating or working, would follow behind, hoping for some kind of ‘coincidental’ encounter.
Zhang Nianjiao’s cave dwelling wasn’t decorated like the room of a refined lady, filled with luxurious and beautiful colors.
She didn’t need her family to prepare these things, nor did she need to buy them.
When Jiang Tang last went to Dao Nation’s treasury, he took luxurious items from the Imperial Palace, such as ornaments, mosquito nets, beds, sofas, chairs, and dressing tables from the princesses’ rooms, which were all different from those in Ancient Xia Country.
The bed was soft, the sofa was cushy, and even the chairs were plush and could rotate.
The stools’ height could be adjusted, and the dressing table mirror was so large.
The only drawback was that these pieces of furniture were just that–furniture, with no Magical Treasure functionalities.
Placed in her cave dwelling, these ornaments were just useless items, and as a Cultivator, she rarely even slept in a bed.
A single cushion on the ground was enough for her to joyfully practice cultivation.
While Jiang Tang was diligently creating formations, Zhang Nianjiao also devoted herself to cultivation in her cave.
She practiced the technique he had given her, focusing on refining her eyes and heart, achieving a unity of mind and spirit, her gaze sharp as lightning, capable of killing with a look.
This was more useful than any spell.
While others used spells to form swords of light, if she succeeded in mastering this technique, her eyes could launch myriad swords, more unpredictable and potent than any formidable Magical Treasure.
Zhang Nianjiao had never heard of such scriptures before.
Jiang Tang explained them to her, and she was half-doubtful, yet felt the man she loved wouldn’t deceive her.
Perhaps he had used one of his special spells to create these unique scriptures.
She had also never considered that practicing newly created scriptures could have flaws, and improper cultivation might lead to self-immolation or insanity.
Cultivation itself was defying the natural order.
If she was worried about poor cultivation or deviating into madness, she would always be just a follower to others.
Zhang Nianjiao had once dreamed of walking alongside the man she loved, not relying on him for survival but rather leaning on each other and progressing together.
With her current abilities, she was still unable to walk side by side with him!
As Zhang Nianjiao continued to cultivate, she slowly realized her eyesight had recently improved significantly, wondering if she was overthinking it.
After all, as cultivators, they all practiced soul refining and Divine Sense development; they could perceive enemies and survey their surroundings with their eyes closed from a great distance.
Their hearing was adept at discerning wind directions, and their senses were especially sharp; this was the innate talent of their spiritual cultivation, bringing clarity to their perception and acute observation of details.
As she continued cultivating her heart and vision in tandem, she wondered if this might be the integration of heart and spirit.
But she could see the mosquitoes flying outside her cave dwelling from within, noticing every detail clearly.
She could even see clearly what some people were doing ten miles away in the vicinity.
Then she saw Jiang Tang in the cave dwelling, working day and night without rest, and she felt a pang of heartache for him.
She really wanted to do something for him and complained about the chefs not preparing food for him, letting him work so hard without eating or drinking.
Zhang Nianjiao was actually wronging the chefs.
The chef team’s Chief Steward, Sun Zi’an, who now served as Jiang Tang’s personal chef, would also prepare delicious meals for Jiang Tang to entertain the ladies and high-ranking officials around him.
His former master, Luo Yaxuan, was also his lord and provided them with their daily meals.
While busy at work, Jiang Tang told him not to worry about him and that he would eat if he were hungry.
Although Sun Zi’an could not help Jiang Tang with the work, he felt quite sad that the food he cooked could not be enjoyed by the masters due to their lack of time.
Jiang Tang wasn’t like what others saw — standing there, he could go without food or drink for two days and two nights while working.
Was he really that diligent?
With his current cultivation level, while his body was working, his soul had already entered a space where he could directly taste food without the need to use his external body.
It was up to him to enter the space within his body, whether physically or spiritually, and he could even let an avatar take over the outside work while he enjoyed himself or practiced cultivation within that space.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell others about this, only letting people think he was very dedicated.
If he didn’t appear to work so hard and remained so leisurely while still accomplishing so much unnoticed, others would think he was superhuman!
He was now a cultivator, not an immortal, nor could he perform miraculous transformations like turning stones to gold.
He could easily turn anything into gold.
To him, money was just a number, something he could casually throw around.
After he gave Zhang Nianjiao the cultivation technique, while he went about his business, he also observed his beautiful wives to see what they were actually up to.
Don’t say he wouldn’t get jealous.
As a man, liking his own women and then shifting focus was akin to betrayal and the risk of being cuckolded.
Even if he knew a woman needed him to let go, he didn’t want to release her carefree.
The nine women who followed him, although they had just held hands and accompanied him for several months, he had already developed feelings for them and he couldn’t let others flirt with them carelessly.
He also observed Zhang Nianjiao to see if the cultivation technique he had created would lead to the changes he expected.
He also used his powers to voyeuristically gaze, feeling that both men and women had their beauty.
But he couldn’t become distorted from his tastes — he still liked beautiful women, which not only satisfied his vanity but also his gaze…!
Jiang Tang…, I won’t gradually stray onto the wrong path, will I?
It seems like a man who doesn’t lust isn’t really a man, right?
No, if women start to lust, wouldn’t they be even more lecherous than men?
As a man surrounded by beautiful women, he had so far only held hands, which already made him pure enough.
He hadn’t yet lost his virginity.
Who would be his first wife?
Just appreciating with his eyes didn’t seem enough.
Sigh, why was having multiple abilities causing him worries?
Shouldn’t he be enjoying them more openly?
It seemed like his pulse swelled with this perceptive power, which made it difficult for him to remain calm around certain people.
Fortunately, his ability to see through things was selective, and he didn’t apply it to other people’s wives, grandmothers, and the like.
Or those grandfathers — those were beyond appreciation!
While practicing cultivation, Zhang Nianjiao realized that she might have gone a bit mad.
How could she see eight-pack abs under the young man’s Daoist robe, conjured up from the construction of the main peak?
Ye Tian…, was there a peeping glance emerging?
After helping Yan Weiwei’s family build a house, he was invited by Jiang Tang to Ancestral Peak to craft a Dragon Throne for the great hall where Jiang Tang received guests.
It was not a real Dragon Throne, but a chair made from golden energy, on which a dragon soared in the sky as a phoenix danced.
This chair, which Ye Tian referred to as the Dragon Throne, created from golden energy, was much more exquisite than any dragon throne in The Mortal Realm.
Ye Tian spent a day crafting it.
Besides that Dragon Throne, he also made a Dragon Bed for Jiang Tang.
He thought it was funny that Jiang Tang’s big bed was large enough for the many women beside him — it could fit dozens at once.
